Jon and the team are a friendly, approachable and fair team to work with.
Initially looking to sell an old family watch, Jon then assisted me in purchasing a watch i'd had my eye on for quite while. No pressure, no stress - full support.
They've also helped me later on with maintenance support too.
Highly recommend and you wont get better value elsewhere.

Fantastic service from Joe. Contact from him within the hour of ordering, sized and shipped out less than an hour later and with me less than 24 hours after ordering. Highly recommend them.

Recently Sold a watch to Watchtrader & Co, fantastic experience. Responsed to enquiry swiftly, gave an estimate of price. Handled all of the postage, updated me within 24 hours of the tracking showing they had the watch to confirm the price (exactly what was offered in estimate, no silly knocking back on price). Then funds were received well within the 'agreed' payment terms. Great team of people to deal with, would happily use again.

Dropped in on-spec to discuss possible sale and/or exchange.
I was met by Jon and, following an appraisal of my watches, he offered me what I considered to be a fair amount (My personal note for sellers; it's not the best time to be selling watches if you want big returns. A loss is pretty much inevitable after the highs of the recent years. However, pre-owned watch prices have also dropped accordingly).
There was no pressure for me to accept the sum offered but I was interested in buying. I decided to part exchange with a monetary difference to be paid to me.
As I was uncertain exactly what watch I wanted, Jon showed me everything I wanted to look at. Watches were correctly sized so I could get a true feel of each model; nothing was too much trouble. Again, there was no pressure to buy.
I'm very happy with my new watch and the monetary settlement was in my bank the next day. That's great service.
In summary, it was a pleasure dealing with the Watchtrader team and look forward to dealing with them again.

Saw Hendo hanging out of the back of a lass on Brigg Market on a Saturday night. Shouted over to him if he had any date just in stock and he shouted "I'll sort you out on Monday mate".
Absolutely top notch service would definitely deal with again

Ben, of Watchtraders, brought the watch to me, we made an appointment for the ‘hand-over’ at Schiphol .
So far so good, but I’m still waiting for the box, which he promise to send afterwards. Sent several messages regarding this, now the company doesn’t even respond anymore…
So two stars, it would be only one if they didn’t provide the service to fly to The Netherlands for delivering the watch.
Sold 3 if my watches to these guys and all in all a very smooth experience. Prices offered to me were really reasonable and payment was made once they received and checked the watches. Highly recommend!

John made this an easy transaction. Spoke to him on Friday, package arrived (paid for) on Saturday morning! I returned my watch and he managed to get the deal paid out in no time! Great service from John and the team! A***

I recently sold a watch to Watchtrader & Co, and the experience was absolutely seamless. Jon, Joe, Dan, and the rest of the team have been outstanding from start to finish. As it was my first time selling a high value watch, I was a bit unsure/apprehensive at first - but from speaking with Dan on the phone to arriving at their shop for the first time, I knew I was dealing with a professional, trustworthy, and successful establishment.
The team walked me through the process with clarity and confidence, making everything incredibly straightforward and reassured me. I was so impressed and assured with the service that I’ve actually now used their secure postal service to sell a second watch - something I wouldn’t have done previously, and I have to say that the postal service is just as smooth and efficient.
I highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, stress and scam-free way to sell their watch. Five stars all the way!

Great set of lads, no-pressure sales, and genuinely good chat and banter. The whole experience felt easy-going and relaxed, with none of the usual pushiness you sometimes get elsewhere. Would happily buy from them again — and recommend them to anyone looking for a friendly, trustworthy team who make the process enjoyable."

I’ve dealt with Watchtrader several times this year for both purchases and sales, and have found the team — particularly Ben & Jon McShane — to be professional, responsive and transparent.
Communication was clear at each stage, valuations were realistic, and payments were processed as agreed. They handled both consignment and outright sales efficiently.
A trustworthy and well-organised company — happy to recommend Watchtrader & Co for anyone looking to buy or sell luxury watches confidently.

The watch trader team were very friendly and helpful after I emailed interest in a coupe watches. Ben took the time to call me directly and explain the condition of both which helped me decide.
The watch arrived well packaged and in incredible condition which was exactly as described.
Top service and rapid next day delivery.

I walked into the shop looking to part-ex my Rolex Sub for a Skydweller. Whilst I wasn’t spending huge amounts of money, for me, it was. The lads were great. I was treated superb with zero pressure on me. We were able to come to a deal and I walked out a happy man. Top service. Thank you 👌🏽
